The pricing here is very competitive, featuring excellent bulk discounts that are especially economical if you are stocking schooling fish. As a best practice, always quarantine any new additions before introducing them to your established community tanks. Transporting livestock introduces significant stress to their immune systems, and retail holding tanks are inherently high-density environments, so a quarantine protocol is a must rather than a reflection on the shop. Additionally, this is a fantastic source for high-quality dry and frozen fish food. Highly recommended.

Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, ready to help when needed. They were happy to answer questions, give honest advice, and didn't make me feel rushed or pressured to buy anything. It's clear they genuinely care about the hobby and about helping customers succeed with their aquariums. Whether you're new to aquariums or have been in the hobby for years, this place is definitely worth visiting. I've checked out at least 20 different aquatic stores and this ranks as #1. Definitely be coming back the next time I'm in San Diego!

But looks can definitely be deceiving - this place is truly a hidden gem. Kenneth helped me throughout my visit, and he was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping me create a successful guppy tank setup. They have an amazing selection of fish and plants, and I really appreciated all the guidance he gave me as I figured out what I needed to upgrade my current tank. I ended up purchasing a variety of shrimp, a beautiful koi guppy, several plants, and a really cool pleco. Thanks to Kenneth's advice, transitioning everything into my new tank was a huge success, and all of the fish and shrimp are absolutely flourishing. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'll definitely be coming back.

Buying healthy fish and keeping them healthy depends 100% on; quality food, proper cleaning & filtration and the correct water paramotors for your breed. Although that sounds easy it can be overwhelming and small variances can be critical. Today, I discovered I had a couple of sick Orandas. Although, I truly thought I was doing everything right, I discovered my water quality was causing my fish to become sick after just a few weeks. I called the store and spoke to a very patient & compassionate representative whose name I believe was Nimit. He walked me through setting up a hospital tank and how to properly treat it with Methylene Blue. His customer service was outstanding (even with my 100 questions). With his help my fish seem to be responding and on the mend. I highly recommend Coast Gem for all your tropical freshwater fish needs. Buying from caring and experienced professionals AND having their support is definitely what this place delivers. Thank you Coast Gems & Nimit for all your help.

This is the second time they have moved since I've been with them. When they first moved to their current location, for me, it was farther away, not nearly as convenient & it has a horrible parking lot! However, I have remained a loyal customer. Why? Because of two very special employees & the high quality standard of customer service they provide. From the very beginning, Jacki welcomed me like an old friend. She made me feel like I was already a part of the Kahoots family & not just another invisible stranger coming through their door. Later, when I met Carol, she was also very welcoming & treated me like I was part of the Kahoots family. Over the years, the two of them have shared with me their wealth of product knowledge & personal experiences. There excellence in customer service has been instrumental in developing a long lasting relationship. They have always gone above & beyond to help me, no matter what! Whenever I have had an issue or a question that they had no a mediate answer for, they did not hide from it. They did not waste my time with lame excuses, nor did they try to cover it with some BS answer. They would simply ask, "Can you give me a little bit of time to do some research & get back with you?" Skeptical? Yes! However, as it turned out they didn't forget. I am very happy to report that they have never left me hanging without an answer. They have always responded back in a timely manner. Providing clear intelligent answers, practical solutions, or otherwise, made thoughtful & helpful recommendations. It is my opinion, that when lead by their example everyone benefits. Because of them, I have remained loyal to the Kahoots family. Jacki & Cheryl, I APPRECIATE & THANK YOU for all that you do! You are my furever family

Live Water Aquariums Transformed My San Diego Koi Pond - Absolutely Awesome Service!…read moreI can't say enough good things about Live Water Aquariums! They recently came out to my home in sunny San Diego for a full pond tune-up on my backyard koi setup, and wow--what a difference. The owner Mark himself showed up right on time, rolled up his sleeves, and dove right in (pun intended). He inspected everything from the filtration system to the water chemistry, cleared out some stubborn algae buildup, and even balanced the pH levels on the spot--our San Diego hard water can be tricky, but he nailed it without a hitch. My koi are swimming happier than ever, and the water is crystal clear, just like the Pacific on a good day. What's even better is that we signed up for their monthly maintenance plan on the spot. For a reasonable fee, they handle all the routine stuff--skimming debris, checking the pump and UV sterilizer, adding those beneficial bacteria to keep things eco-balanced, and monitoring ammonia/nitrite levels so I don't have to stress. No more weekend warrior sessions for me; I can just kick back in my backyard and enjoy the show. The guy is genuinely awesome--super knowledgeable, friendly, and treats your pond like it's his own. He shared tips on winterizing for our mild SoCal climate (like insulating the heater lines come December) and even recommended some hardy water lilies that thrive here. If you're in the San Diego area and need pro help for your pond or aquarium, Live Water Aquariums is the real deal. They've got my lifelong business. 10/10, would recommend to every fish-loving neighbor!
